Synchrotron Radiation and Its Applications in Inorganic Materials

Materials Analysis Using Synchrotron Radiation

Synchrotron radiation (SR) is a tunable, highly oriented, intense X-ray. Its tunability has led to XAFS being used as a common analytical tool, and is particularly useful for examining local structures. In fact, its use is indispensable to the examination of not only amorphous materials or solutions but also multicomponent systems. Thanks to the high intensity of SR, it is possible to determine...

SYMPOSIUM O Synchrotron radiation and materials science

A Review of the Applications of Synchrotron Radiation in Archaeological Sciences

The scientific research regarding investigation, characterization and protection of the archeological specimens is manifested through a notable participation of multidisciplinary subjects and experts, scientists and archeometrists. One of the main principals which are considered by archaeometrists in the study of the precious specimens is the utilizing nondestructive methods. As an example, in ...

Microanalysis of Materials Using Synchrotron Radiation

Synchrotron radiation techniques in materials and environmental science.

Synchrotron-based techniques have had, over the last 30 years, a major and profound effect on the study of complex materials and on environmental science. Their ability to obtain accurate information at the atomic and molecular level on both local and longrange structures, together with the increasing ability to undertake time-resolved structural studies, has transformed our understanding of se...
